Yep, sounds about right. Don't get me wrong, 1941 probably isn't available to them yet, so it makes sense they don't have a scooby.. I don't know why you're getting 1896 though.. i had 1899 from my VW dealer ages ago.

I got 1896 OTA about 6-8 months ago. I had another large-ish OTA update last week (OUA1 or something?) but system info still says I am on 1896. No sign of 1899 for me...

OUA1 wasn't an infotainment update, so it wouldn't have changed your 1896 software version.

This doesn't seem much of an issue for the A3, I wonder what's so different between the 2 cars? My Sister has a March 2023 Golf R-Line eTSI hybrid and that was full of bongs and stored faults. Got them all cleared and gave her the option of keeping off the Lane assist with my OBD11.

Similarly, our Cupra Born has had far fewer software issues than the ID3 before it did.

My S3 has 2 justifiable bongs currently - for limited view on the ACC system and low washer fluid. Given that a deer collision destroyed the ACC sensor and the washer bottle, that's fair enough.

I've had my GTi from new since early April and, up until last week, everything has been fine but I am now getting a persistent problem with the car automatically connecting to the SOS  service centre. Each time I cancel it, it redials every 30 seconds or so. From what I can see I am on software version 1900 so I am just wondering if there is a newer version available, if/when I take it back to the dealership, and if anyone has a possible fix for this. Thanks in advance.

Got an OTA system update this morning, can't see what it has changed as the software number is still at 1899.  :shocked:
Need to stop these reboots ffs lol

I did a manual upgrade of the radio/logos db from phonostar last week to try and fix the bunch of missing radio station logos too, didn't work, not sure if that has anything to do with the above though

Same here, just a minor update. not a major one that would change the software number.

Yeah, no material changes as far as I can tell but I am convinced that the jerky braking/downshift in sport has smoothed right out

If anyone is interested it turns out that this was simply a coincidence and I had a incorrectly connected battery communication module connector causing the car to have 20+ communication errors including drivetrain, gearbox, and loads of others.

This has been rectified and they installed the 1941 infotainment update due to a stored infotainment error from all the 1899 reboots. All seems well now
